Answer:
the very long river
Explanation:
Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.
The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.
_____
Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.
If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.
Answer:
The growth of the plants is the dependent variable, the stuff added to each plant is the independent variable, the plants that don't receive treatment/other stuff are control variables.
Agency problem
Agency problem also known as agency costs occurs in a two-party relationship (principal/agent) where the agent is expected to act or make decisions for the good of the principal.
For example in a corporate the relationship between the management and shareholders. The management is expected to make decisions that will maximize shareholders interest. The problem arises when the two parties have different interests. In the example above the manager may opt to make his own wealth and not act in the company’s best interest which could be maximizing company’s market value.
Examples of agency relationship in finance
Managers/stockholders
Managers/Creditors
Causes of conflicts between managers and stockholders may include;
Remuneration - low remunerations or fixed salaries despite increased profit margins.
Differences in risk profile- stockholders may prefer high-risk return investments contrary to the managers. When high-risk investment go bad the manager risks job loss
Manipulation of accounting systems- to reflect high profits.
Unnecessary perks management award themselves.
Solution to these problems include threat for firing in case of poor performance, shareholders may also threaten to sell the company, remuneration based on performance, incurring agency costs-these are costs incurred while hiring external auditors, setting a control system, legal costs for employment letters and contracts.
Agency problem may be reduced by motivating the manager to act for the companies best interest by offering incentives
